Dear Cryptomator Clients,

We’re reaching out to share important news about a recent 1.12.4 version update to Cryptomator for Windows. This update specifically addresses a vulnerability identified in the Windows installer, as highlighted in a recent advisory by FireGiant.

It’s crucial to understand that this vulnerability does not affect the Cryptomator application itself or the security of your encrypted data. The issue was isolated to the installer, and we’ve taken prompt action to mitigate any potential risk.

Windows systems typically cache the installer used for applications, which is why we recommend applying this update. Doing so will replace any cached version of the Cryptomator installer with the updated, secure version.

We want to emphasize that your encrypted data remains secure and unaffected by this installer vulnerability. Our commitment to your security and privacy is unwavering, and we continue to work diligently to ensure Cryptomator meets the highest standards.

Updating is straightforward and ensures that all aspects of Cryptomator’s installation and operation are as secure as possible. We thank you for your continued trust in Cryptomator and appreciate your attention to this matter.

Warm regards,
The Cryptomator Team
